EXQUISITE CORPSE
A Full-Length Play; 100 Minutes
EXQUISITE CORPSE
By Maggie Smith
EXQUISITE CORPSE
The creative writing class of Mary Magdalene's Preparatory School for Girls have less than three hours to finish editing their school's literary magazine. Too bad they don't have any poems to edit. In a last-ditch effort to complete their task, the girls lock themselves in their classroom in order to have a long and hard conversation that even the smartest among us can't answer: What makes good poetry?
"...This play is a damned joy to read. And its brilliance lies in how many layers that one can choose to dig, or not, for enjoyment. Its surface layers will enchant and engage, and the more you contemplate the more profoundly wonderful it gets. In short, this play about school girls writing poems feels like it is indeed a well written poem. I highly enjoyed it."
